OC Fair 2010

OC Fair 2010

We had a blast!! We were there from 3:00 p.m. until about 8:30 p.m.
The kids were great, the food was good and the family time with just the 4 of us was PRICELESS!!

I now present "Our Day At The Fair" a picture blog....

One of my favorite pictures ever!!!
My other favorite picture EVER!!!
Even Freddie got into the sandbox and got dirty!!
She shoots.....
She scores!!!!!
She picked the pirate ships over the bees...that's my girl!!!
She was stoked about the fake Dumbo ride....
She was loving it!!! And she is big enough to do it all on her own!!!
Down the mega slide with Daddy...WWWEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Yes, your eyes are working just fine...that is in fact me in front of the camera!!  I know, rare and shocking, isn't it?? Someone had to ride with her and I got nominated....
Daddy helped her throw the darts and she won a snake...his name is Snakey....Keep looking at the pictures, you'll see him....
Karyl - "Mommy I want to be a lemon...take a picture"
Can you spot Snakey??
She thought this was the greatest thing ever!!
Karyl showing off Snakey while Daddy takes a picture with his phone.
Watching some acrobats on the stage...I think there were like 10 of them on a bike when this picture was taken...
And here's our little stud!!! He was napping for a while and was too small for the rides so he was lacking in picture until this point.  Check out that smile!!!
Our beloved oversized books...this booth gives away free books every year to kids to encourage reading...Karyl LOVES it, they gave her like 3 books and even gave Freddie a few!!
Karyl insisted we read her 3 books before we moved on...I think she just wanted to sit in the little beanbags they had!!
Even Freddie can appreciate a classic!! Do you all remember Golden Books (the originals, not these new weird ones...)???
Karyl's favorite part of the fair...riding the horses.  They let her ride that horse for at least 10 minutes!! We definitely got our $7.00 worth!!
Nope, there are no hidden children in the picture...just wanted to share the cute piglets with you....
Getting ready to head out from the fair...the kids were pretty stoked about their loot.
Oh, where did Freddie's dog come from you ask??
Greg won that minutes before we left...he's REALLY good at the basketball games they have there, every year we walk away with an overstuffed animal.
This year he was low on cash and it was getting late...the dog's name is Pity...you do the math!!

Overall it was a great day at the Fair!! I'm so glad that we can carry on a tradition of something we did as children to something with our own family now!!

Until next year!!!
